I love this, it reminded me of Crime Cops [1]. The best part is that actual screenwriters might come across this while searching for tech dialog and not realise it's satire. Then again, it wouldn't be much different from the stuff Hollywood currently uses.

Funny, but it's just a mad lib. Saw another one for mathematics jargon: http://theproofistrivial.com/

Would be more interesting to see if you could do this by feeding a learning algorithm the terrible one-liners from real movies.

Then again, it would probably just generate "zoom and enhance!" over an over again.

This has been done on the scale of entire mathematics and CS papers:

Indeed, the creators of SCIgen have amused themselves by presenting randomly generated papers at conferences.

"The SSL alarm is down, back up the redundant firewall so we can override the EXE bus!" Nonsense. but the idea of SSL alarms would be good.
